Python 3.4 using Pandas in beginners tutorial. Code below. Keep getting syntax error in print with carrot under the d in pd. Spent last hour trolling the web to no avail. Just starting out.

import numpy as np
import csv as csv
import pandas as pd
readdata = csv.reader(open("c:\MyData\BYLCsv.csv"))
data = []

for row in readdata:
    data.append(row)

Header = data[0]
data.pop(0)
print pd.DataFrame(data, columns=Header)

  • I find it helps to google for keywords. For example, "python print syntax error". – DSM Mar 01 '15 at 17:45

    basically python 3 print is a function so you have to wrap your args in parentheses so do this `print(pd.DataFrame(data, columns=Header))` – EdChum Mar 01 '15 at 17:45
  • And apart from the print error, you can also use `pd.read_csv` instead of looping over the csv file rows yourself. – joris Mar 01 '15 at 18:25

You are probably using python 3 and for the print command you need the parenthesis: 

print (pd.DataFrame(data, columns=Header))
